a premium is the one of 1877, which is worth l5c
The quarter of 1858, similar in appearance 10
the present issue, which has on its reverse side
no lines back of the eagle, is worth 81 80. Some
of the older 25-cent pieces bring much more
ing $50. Among the half dollars beside the one
already mentioned, there are sever. with pre-
miums. That of 1776 is worth 500 that OF 1877,
SIS; and there are smaller premiums for those
of 1894, 'e5, 1901, '02, '15, '38 and 50.
The silver dollars come next in order among
the most valuable being those of 1894 dust OF

each and So worth $40. Other dates with
premiums among the latter issues are 1884, 30,

were issued in the Carolinas and New England
irTegularly up to 1873 under George LII.
The issues were in the form of copper cents,
and are now very valuable specimens, being
worth from $40 TO SIS. The Continental"
issues as may call them, although this term
has never been applied before, are also very in
teresting These were various copper cents,
issued by number OF the independent States,
namely, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut.
New York and New Jersey, between the years
1873 and 1858. They are all rare. many being
very valuable, The first piece Of mony ever
issued by the United -tateS as q power under
direction of the Continental Congress, was
silver dollar Of the year 1776 Specimens are
worth from So to 50.

The Bender Horror Repeated.

Several years ago the whole country was
mortified by the story of the crimes of the
Bender family. They entertained travellers
at lonely point on the route between Fort
Scott, Kan, and W .chita, of the same State
Their practice was to murder those who
stopped at their place who had the appear
ance of having money How long they car
ried on their horrible practices, or how great
the number of their victims was, nobody
knows A brother of State Senator dis
appeared and suspicion fell upon the Bend
ers. A search of their premises resulted in
the discovery of dozen or more bodies of
those who had been murdered, and who had
been buried close to the house in shallow
graves. 1t is believed that the Blenders were
all shot to death in the Indian Territory by
a party who went in search of them That
at least is the accepted story of their fate.
Another horror, simil lr to that in which
the Blenders were principals, has just come
to light. The Kelly family occupied house
in mo Mans Land" narrow strip of
country south of Kansas. Like the Ben
ders, they entertained travellers. People
travelling north by way of the Kelly house
within the last year or two failed to
reach their destination, and nothing was
ever heard from them. The impression
got abroad, somehow or other,
that the Kellys were murderers,
and that it was dangerous for travellers to
stop at their place. 1t was determined to
make an investigation, and a half dozsn
men visited the Kelly House and found that
the inmates had fed. They dug up the
ground in the vicinity of the house and
stables and found ten bodies, showing con-
clusively that the Kellys were robbers and
thieves of the worsttype.
OF course crimes like those of the
Benders aud Kellys are only possible in
isolated places. Efforts are being made to
capture the Kellys, but thus far they have
not been successful. There is no punish
ment that could be inflicted upon them that
would be too severe Both Texas and Kansas
should offer rewards for their apprehension,
and if caught they should be hung as soon
as their guilt is established III the courts.

Louisiann,s salt Works.

But the easiest method OF salt produc-
ton is undoubtedly that at Petit-Anse. in
Louisiana. There is an immense body of
pure rock salt that is mined just like iron
or COAL The miners run drifts and
levels, blast out the salt, put it on cars,
hoist it to the surface, pass it through a
rock breaker and thence into series Of
mills, where it is ground to any degree
OF iincness desired and at once baIreled
In ten minutes after car load of that
pure rock reaches the surface it is ground
and barrelod ready for market
The Louisiana salt mine was discovered
in 1G6o on the plantation Of a planter
named Avery. II has been worked on q
large ecale for about seven years, the
Avery family receiving from the Amer
Jean Salt company n royalty Of $780, 900 a
year. This mine is one CT the heavy salt
producers OF the country, and Che deposit
feems inexhlustible. Visitors to the

A remarkable find Of metcoric iron has
been recently described By Dr., Gurlt, Of
Bonn. This nass, which weighs about
1-2 pounds, was found in piece Of
coal about to be used in furnace.
Close examination proves it TO be OF me
teoric origin, and was plunged into the
mass of coal during It's formation in the
tertiary geological opoch. 1t is essentially
pure iron, with some contained carton
and nickel. There are other similar me-
reorite, as the famous masses Of st.
Catherine in Rrazil and Bpunau in Bo-
